- **修复率:** 85%

## 根因

即使6英寸的流水也能使车辆漂浮，且路面可能被冲走或包含隐藏碎片，使得驾驶通过任何深度的洪水都极其危险。

## 解决方案

1. ```
   Never drive through any depth of flood water; turn around and find an alternative route. Example: if water covers the road, execute a U-turn immediately and drive to higher ground, even if it adds 30 minutes to the trip.
   ```
2. ```
   If trapped in a vehicle and water is rising, abandon the car and move to higher ground on foot, calling 911. Example: unbuckle seatbelt, exit through a window, and swim or wade to a safe location, avoiding downed power lines.
   ```
3. ```
   Use a real-time flood monitoring app (e.g., USGS WaterWatch) to check road conditions before traveling in flood-prone areas. Example: before driving in a storm, check the app for stream gauges showing water levels near road crossings.
   ```

## 无效尝试

- **Drive slowly at 5 mph to avoid water splashing into the engine** — Slow speed does not prevent water from entering the exhaust or causing the vehicle to float; the critical factor is water depth and flow speed, not driving speed. (80% 失败率)
- **Use a truck or SUV with higher ground clearance** — Even large SUVs can float in 12-18 inches of water, and the driver may misjudge depth; hidden road washouts can still cause the vehicle to fall into a hole. (70% 失败率)
- **Roll down windows before driving through in case of escape** — Rolling down windows helps if the vehicle is submerged, but it does not prevent the initial floatation and loss of control; the driver may not have time to react. (60% 失败率)
